NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO COMBUSTION UTILITIES CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF MAINE MANUEACTURE or WATER Gas Application' led January air blasting, during ywhich the temperature of a bed of fuel in the generator is raised to incandescence, withgas making runs, during which steam is passed through the incandescent fuel to generatewater gas. The

lean or blow gas produced in the generatorduring periods of air blasting is passed into the top of the carburetor and burned therein with secondary air, and the products of combustion, after imparting heat to the refractory illings of the carburetor and superheater, are exhausted into the' atmosphere, often while still at red heat, through a stack at the top of the' superheater. During the gas making runs the water gas produced is passed lnto the carburetor and a spray of oil at the top of the carburetor is simultaneously turned on. The high degree of preheat imf parted'to the refractory linings of the carburetor and superheater during the blow cycle vaporizes the oil and transforms itsl vapors into fixed gaseous hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are swept along with the '7 y stream of water gas through the carburetor and superheater and serve as enriching agents whereby the caloriiic lvalue of the inal gaseous product is considerably increased.

In order to support the enrichment, or carburetion of the water gas with gaseous hydrocarbons, derived preferably from mineral oil, it is necessary yto generate a high degree of preheat in both the carburetor andl the superheater during the blow, because the water gas as it leaves the ordinary generator does not itself carry sufficient sensible heat to effect the vaporization of the carburetting oil `and the fixation ofv the oil vapors in the y mi gaseous state; As a result of these high temperatures in the carburetor and superheater 28, 1925.

linings the enriched water gasgenerally carries superheat as it exits from the top of the superheater into the foul gas main, and accordingly this heat is lost to the gas making operation and materially increases -the demands on the condensing and scrubbing the potential heat remainingv in the blow gases asthey leave the top` of the super heater.. Despite these attempts, however, so far as known nol process and apparatus for --watergas manufacture has been developed whichlfwill'operate satisfactorily on a substantially .balanced thermal cycle and with an eliicient recovery and utilization of the heat developed in the generator.

' The primary object of the present invention is'to provide an improved process and apparatus by means of which the manufacture of water gas from anthracite, coke or ybituminous fuels can be conducted on a substantially balanced thermal plan or cycle.

Another object of the invention is to provide a process and apparatus by means of. Whi/crh'the manufacture of water gas from conducted with a relatively high thermal eliiciency and at a relatively low cost. lIn accordance with -these objects one feature of the present invention contemplates regenerating substantially all ofthe ipotential heat of the blow gases and storing the heat thus regenerated at points where it can be efectively utilized in carburetting the make gas with hydrocarbon oils, in generating and superheating the make steam, and in preheating the blast air. v

Another feature of the invention contemplates regenerating the sensible heat of the enriched water gas and making eective use of the heat thus regenerated.

Another'feature of the invention contemplates regenerating heat from the waste fuel and ash before its discharge from the generator.

'so anthracite, coke or bituminous coals .can be Another feature of the invention contemplates improvements in process and relatively simple alterations and additions to the standard set of apparatus by means of which 5 heat regenerated from the blow gases, from the make gases and from the waste fuel can l be utilized to preheat air for the blow, to

generate and superheat steam for the run,v

and to s uperheat and support carburetion of the make gas with gaseous hydrocarbons,

thereby leading to operation on a substantially balanced thermal cycle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved process and apparatus for water gas manufacture by means of which the amount of heat normally carried over from the generator into carburetor and superheater elements by the blow gases `can be materially reduced.

With this object in view another feature of the invention contemplates recovering and storing a part of the potential heat of the blow gases within the generator and fuel bed and using the heat thus stored to support the carburetion of the make gases with gaseous hydrocarbons.

With these and other objects and features in view, the invention consists in the improved method of and apparatus for making water gas hereinafter described and particularly defined in the' claims.

The various features of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

The view is a front vertical section, with parts in elevation, showing the improved water gas generator and the auxiliary carburetors, superheaters, and which embody the preferred form of the invention. 4 p

The equipment illustrated in the drawing consists of any standard water gas generator set including a water gas generator 10, a carburetor 12, and a superheater 14, together with the auxiliary equipment incident thereto. This auxiliary equipment includes a gas connection 16 and hot valve 18 between the top of the generator and the top of the carburetor, an exhaust valve 20 and stack 22 at the top of the superheater, a rich gas oftake 24 with valve 26 leading from the top of the superheater into a seal pot 28, and a foul gas main 30 leading from the seat pot preferably to condensing and scrubbing 55 equipment (not shown).

Added to this equipment is a combustion cliamber 32 at the top of the generator, formed by raising the top of a standard gas generator and installing a ring-sheet or radiation arch to create additional space above the fuel bed of the generator for secondary combustion of the blow gases. `A supplemental carburetor unit 34 and a supplemented superheater unit 36, resembling in design and construction the carburetor 12l and superconnections` heater 14 of the standard set respectively, are connected in series to the space above the fuel bed by a pipe 38 with hot valve 40. The supplemental or auxiliary carburetor 34 and the standard carburetor 12 are both connected to the space in the generator below grate vbars 42 by means of connections and hot valves numbered respectively 44 and 46, and 48 and 50. The auxiliary superheater 36 is equipped with a stack 52 and a stack valve ,'5 54, and a gas oftake line 56 with valve 58 leads from the top of this superheater into main oftake 24 at the entrance end of seal pot 28. vThe supplemental carburetor ,and superheater are provided with auxiliary 53 equipment .resembling `the yauxiliary equlpment of the existing carburetor and superheater, in order that in operation they will perform the same functional duties.

The process of water gas manufacture cong5 stituting the preferred form of the present invention is carried out in the arrangement of apparatus illustrated in the drawing substantially as follows Primary air is admitted throuvh an inlet 60and valve 62 into the top of auxiliary superheater 36. Superheater 36 and carburetor 34 having been previouslyhe'ated by the passage of hot make gases or by the combustion ofblow gas therein, the `air in passing down through superheater 36 and upwardly through carburetor 34 takes up preheat by heat exchange with the checker brick linings and is fthence passed through hot valve 48 and conduit 44 into the base of the generator below the grate bars 42. The lean or blow gases produced in the fuel bed by the upward passage of the air therethrough enter the combustion chamber 32 and are met by secondary air, either preheated or cold, which is admitted into the combustion chamber simultaneously from a bustle pipe 64 through ,a number lof nostrils 66. The amount of secondary air admitted through nostrils 66' may or may not be sufficient to completely burn the blow gases. Any unburned blow gases pass-out with the products of combustion through connection 16 and hot valve 18, and enough secondary air is admitted at the top of the carburetor 12 through an inlet 68 and valve 70 to complete their combustion. The products of secondary combustion pass downwardly through the refractory lining of carburetor 12 and upwardly through superheater 14, and are thence exhausted through exit valve 20 and stack 22. The radiation arch which forms combustion chamber 32 has a high temperature refractory lining 7 2 which serves to project heat liberated by the secondary combustion 1" of the blow gases downwardly as radiant venergy into the top layers of the bed of generated water gas and for completing' decomposition of the steam during the subsequent run.

After the temperature of the bed of fuel in the generator has been raised by the blast air suliciently to support the endothermic water gas reactions the air is cut off by closing valve 62. The b-low cycle is followed by a gas making run during which stack valve 20 at the top of the superheater 14 is elo-sed and steam, or preferably water, is 4admitted into the top of the superheater through an inlet 74, controlled by valve 76. The water is transformed almost instantly into steam on striking the hot checker-brick lining of the superheater, and as this steam passes downwardly through the refractory :Filling of the superheater and upwardly through the refractory filling of carburetor 12,` it continues to absorb heat from the refractory and is superheated at the time it exits from the top of the carburetor. During a part or all of the 'make run the superheated steam is admitted into the base of the generator through conduit 46, by opening valve and closing valve'18 in conduit 16. However, in case at any time a down run is desirable hot valve 50 may be closed, and hot valve 18 may be opened to admit the superheated steam into the combustion chamber 32 at the top of the generator. The steam admitted at the base of the generator through conduit 46 passes up through the grate bars 42 and through the incandescent fuel sup ported thereon, and the Water lgas thereby produced passes upwardly through the hot upper layers of the fuel bed into the combustion chamber 32, at thel same time becoming highly superheated by absorption of some of the radiant heat projected into the top lay?"l ers of the fuel bed during the previous ai;` blast cycle. The highlyv superheated water gas produced during this up run is then passed out of the generator through conduit 38, by opening valve 40, and enters the top of the comparatively cold supplemental carburetor 34. To enrich the water gas at this point carburetting oils, preferably of mineral origin, are introduced into the current of hot water gas through supply pipe 78 and distributors 8-0. The high degree of superheat carried by the current of water gas entering the carburetor is sutlicient to support almost instantaneous vaporization and fixation of the hydrocarbon components of the carburetting oil, and the rich gaseous hydrocarbons are then picked up and carried along with the current of water gas downwardly through the checker-brick filling of carburetor 34, upwardly through the filling of superheater 36 and thence out through offtake conduit 56 and valve 58 into seal pot 28, at the head of the foul gas rmain 30. The temperature o f the refractory fillings of carb-uretor 34 andv superheater 36 having `,beenprey viously reduced by `heat transfer with the takes on an extremely high degree of superheat and is substantially completely decomposed at t-he time it enters the fuel column by absorption of heatderived from radiant energy stored in the top of the generator and fuel column during the previous blast cycle. As a result the water gas produced during the down run has an extremely low moisture content, and since it leaves the fuel column through the hottest part of the blast zone adjacent grates 42, it also carries a much higher degree of superheat than is generally carried by water gas produced inthe ordinary Way. I

This hot, dry water gas leaves the base of the generator through conduit 44 and .is passed by hot valve 48, (valve 40 in conduit 38 being closed), into the top of the'carburetor 34. The water gas produced during the down run has a sufficiently high degree of supery heat and a` suliciently low moisture content to support its own .enrichment bycarburetion .with oil admitted through pipe 78 and distributors 80, so that the rich gas mixture produced during the down runs may be' likewise cooled in carburetor 34 and superheater 36 before its exits through conduit 56, and possesses substantially the same properties and 'has'substantially the same chemicalanalysis as gas produced and enriched -during therup run. f

After the temperature of the fuel bed in the generator has been lowered fby the endothermic water gas reactions below that tem' peratureat which substantially dry gas can be produced, the flow'of steam is cuto by closing valve 76 and hot valve 18. The gas making run is followed by another blow cycle during which the blast air and the exhaust :heating operation of the prior water gas This preheated air is then passed by cycle. hot valve 50 through conduit 46 into the base of the generator below the grate bars. The

blow gases are burned inv combustion chamber 32 in the same manner as during the'preceding blowand after entering carburetor 34 through conduit 38 their combustion is completed bymeans of secondary air introduced through an inlet 86 and control valve 88. After most of the remaining potential heat of these blow gases has been absorbed by the refractory fillings of carburetor'-34l and superheater 36, their products of combustion are exhausted through stack valve 54 and stack 52.

During the succeeding water gas run valve 54 at the top of superheater is closed, and steam or, preferably, Water is admitted into the top of the superheater through an inlet 90 by opening a valve 92. The steam generated by contacting Water with the highly heated refractory filling of superheater 36 continues to take up superheat during its downward passage through the superheater and upward passage through carburetor 34, and is then admitted into the generator either through conduit 38, by opening hot valve 40, or through conduit 44 by opening valve 48. The water gas produced during the up run leaves the generator through connection 16 and is passed by hot valve 18 into the top of carburetor 12. Likewise the water gas produced during the down run through the fuel bed is led out through conduit 46 and is passed by hot valve 50 into the top of carburetor 12. The current of water gas, superheated by absorption of heatderived from radiant energy stored in the top ylayers of the fuel bed and by the walls of combustion chamber v32 during' the previous blast cycle, enters the top of carburetor 12 and is met by a spray of carburetting oilintroduced from a pipe 94 through distributors 96. The heat carried by the water gas supports the vaporization and also the fixation of this oil, and as the current` of water gas, enriched with the gaseous hydrocarbon products of this oil fixation, passes downwardly through the refractory filling of carburetor 12 and upwardly through that of superheater 14, a large proportion of its superheat is transferred to the refractory fillings and the gas exits through valve 26 and offtake 24 into the seal pot and foul gas main at a relatively low temperature.

The fuel used in the process, such as coke, anthracite or bituminous coal, may be admitted either periodically or continuously in small portions into the top of the generator from a hopper 98 through a charging neck 100, by opening a charging gate 102. As this raw fuel falls through combustion chamber 32 onto the top of the fuel bed, the top level of which is preferably always kept below the secondary air inlet nostrils 66, it is immediately exposed to the high temperatures resulting from the projection of radiant energy libv`erated by combustion of the blow gases in chamber 32 vinto the top layers of the fuel bed. Accordingly this raw fuel is subjected to carbonizing temperatures almost instantly,

and its volatile components are liberated Very rapidly. In order to retain these volatile components so far as possible in the water gas, the operation of fuel charging is preferably restricted to the periods of water gas making, as otherwise the valuable enriching qualities of the volatile components of the fuel would be lost by combustion with the blow gases. When powdered fuel is employed it is preferably admitted to the generator only during that portion of the run in which steam is admitted at the top of the generator and passed downwardly through' the fuel column, for with this method of fuel charging the fuel bed can Serve as a screen to catch undecomposed carbon before it enters the carburetor and superheated elements. In using powdered fuel with the present type of apparatus it might be advantageously admitted into the carburetors 12 and 34,

through secondary air inlets 68 and 86, or preferably directly into combustion chambei1 32 through a pair of fuel injectors or nostrils 104 which extend into ducts 16 and 38 from supply hoppers 106. By this varrangement coke breeze or other finely divided fuel can be carried into the fuel bed of the generator by the current of steam and the fuel can beV plemental carburetor and superheater elements it is possible with the apparatus embodying the present invention to carry on preheating of blast air and regeneration of the heat of the blow gases simultaneously. Likewise with this apparatus arrangement it is possible to superheat the steam and at the same time to carry on the carburetion of the water gas with hydrocarbon oils. However, without some further addition to the apparatus there is no provision whereby the additional step, namely that of regenerating some of the heat carried out of the generator bythe water gas in the form of sensible heat, can be recovered and utilized. To accomplish this the standard set has been further modified in construction by raising the roof of the standard generator and installing inlets for secondary air, whereby a combustion chamber is provided between the radiation arch roof of the generator and the normal upper level of the fuel bed therein. By the addition of this radiation arch combustion chamber to the standard set, together with the supplemental carburetor and superheater and the auxiliary connections previously described, most of the disadvantages of the standard water gas set have been overcome, and the present apparatus for water gas manufacture is thermally efficient and economical and in operation follows a substantially balanced thermal plan or cycle.

The inlet for water or steam 74, the inlet ,for air 82, the exhaust valve 20, and the offtake 24 and valve 26 at the top of the standard superheater have theirexact counterparts respectively in the water inlet '90', theI air inlet 60, the valve 54, and the offtake 56 with valve 58 at the top of supplemental superheater 36. Likewise the secondary air inlet 68 andthe oil inlet 94 at the top of the carburetor 12 have their counterparts in secondary air inlet 86 and oil pipe 78 at the top of the supplemental carburetor 34. The conduits 16 and 46 with their respective hot valves 18 and 50,'by which air and steam can be introduced into the generator through combustion chamber 32 or beneath the grates 42,

and by which either up run or down run water gas can be led from the generator into the top of carburetor 12, correspond in every detail and functional purpose with the conduits 38 and 44 and the corresponding hot valves 40 and 48 which connect the generator with carburetor 34.

In operation the standard and supplemental sets of carburetor and superheater elements are used alternately for preheating blast air and for regenerating potential heat from the blow gases, and in the same way during the gas making runs these two sets of regenerative elements are used alternately in generating and superheating make steam and in carburetting and regenerating the sen-l sible heat of the carburetted water gas. The direction of How of blast air and of blow gases through the entire apparatus is preferably in one direction throughout one entire period of air blowing, and in the opposite direction throughout the next period of air blowing. However, while the blast air is preferably admitted through conduits 44 or 46 into the base of the generator and passed continuously upward through the column of fuel therein, this up-blow may be varied by at intervals introducing air' at the top of the generator through conduits 16 and 38 and passing it in a downwardly direction through the fuel column.

Likewise the make steam and make gases are passed throughk the entire apparatus in a direction opposite to that taken by the blast air and blow gases during the preceding blow cycle and the direction of flow is referably in the same general -direction uring the whole period of the run. However, while in the same general direction, the path taken by the steam and bythe water gas through the generator itself maybe reversed during the more common -p-runs is led from the gen--` erator into' the corresponding carburetor units. Likewise hot valves 50 in conduit 46 and hot valves 48 in conduit 44 control the admission of up blast air and up run steam into the generator and also theremoval of down run gas from the base of the generator. Hot'valve 50 will always be closed when hot valve 18 is open, and vice versa, and likewise y hot valves 40 and 48 will never be opened simultaneously. Vhen hot valves 48 and 1 8 are open hot valves 50 and 40 will necessarily be closed; while when hot valves 50 and 40 are open', hot valves 48 and 18 will remain closed. Valve 26 in oiftake 24 will be open only during the gas making period in which enriched water gas is passed froml the generator through carburetor 12 and superheater 14. During this period stack valve 20 and valve 76 in inlet 74, valve 84 in inlet 82, and

' valve 58 in oftake 56 will be closed. Valve 58 in oiftake 56 will be open only during the gas making period in which water gas is passed from the generator in series through carburetor 34 and superheater 36. During this period stack Valve 54 and valve 92 in inlet 90, valve 62 in inlet 60, and valve 26 in offtake 24 will be closed.

When both up and down runsare used during the same gas making period, the gas making period is preferably closed with an up run so that the temperature of the fuel in t-he lower portion of the column adjacent the grates 42 can be materially lowered and its heat returned to the upper zones of the fuel vbed by the up-run water gas before the end of the run and before the grates are shaken. When a down-run is used it is preferably for only a short period, for the reason that `if allowedvto continue very long most of the heat stored in the upper layers of the fuel bed and in combustion chamber 32 from the previous blast cycle would be carried downsubstantially all the remaining potential heat of the blow gases in the linings of the carburetor and superheater elements, and the temperature of the lu per portion of the superheater adjacent tiie exhaust valve will not be so high but that the products of combustion of the blow gases can exit at a relatively low temperature. One advantage of reducing the total heat carried out of the generator to the carburetor and superheater elements by the blow gases is that preheat may be given to the blast air and superheat to the make steam in the superheater and carburetor without overheating `either above the temperature at which they would do material injury to the grate bars of the generator. Another advantage is that the heat that is carried over is so much less that it can be almost all returned to the generator by the make steam and by the blast air respectively, during the make run and during the blast cycle immediately succeeding the period of heat regeneration, so that the elements are substantially cooled off before the beginning of the run, and are in fine condition for service in carburetion of the make gases and in regeneration of a substantial portion of the heat of the enriched gases before their exit from the apparatus.

By burning the blow gases in the combustion chamber at the top of the generator and projecting heat thus liberated as radiant energy into the top layers of the fuel bed, a substantial part of the potential heat of the blow gases is recovered and stored within the generator at a point where it can be most effectively used for superheating water gas as it leaves the top of the fuel bed and before it enters the carburetor. By imparting superheat to the water gas at this point in degree suiicient to support carburetion with mineral oil it is no longer necessary to impart high degrees of heat to the linings of the carburetor and superheater elements immediately prior to the gas making runs, and accordingly the comparatively cool fillings of the carburetor and superheater will serve effectively to regenerate heat from the make gases.

By regulating the amount of secondary air admitted into the top of the generator through nostrils 66 any proportionate part of the blow gases can be burned in the top of the generator, and such as are not burned in the generator can be burned by secondary air admitted through inlet 68 and v'alve 70 at the top of carburetor 12, or through inlet 86 and valve 88 at the top of carburetor 34. The degree to which the blow gases are burned in combustion chamber 32 is preferably controlled so that the heat stored in the walls of the combustion chamber and in the top layers of the fuel bed willsuperheat the make gases sutiiciently to permit vaporization of the carburetting oils and the fixation of their vapors into gaseous hydrocarbons.

This may be accomplished wholly by Lne sensible heat carried by the make gases, thus permitting completion of the gas enrichment within the carburetor elements and leaving the superheater elements for the regeneration of heat from the enriched gas.

Due to a better balanced thermal equilibrium the present method of generating water gas will require less primary blast air and less secondary air per unit of production, and accordingly the capacity of the generator per unit of cross section will be materially higher, and the loss of potential heat with the exhaust blast gases will be very much lower than has been obtained heretofore in commercial practice.

ln case it is found necessary to use high gravity oils for carburetting the Water gas the generator may preferably be fitted up with an oil spray 108 in conjunction with the fuel charging inlets 104 by means of which the high gravity oil can be sprayed directly onto the hot upper layers of the fuel bed during the gas making runs. In this way the high gravity oil can be almost instantaneously and completely gasied by absorption of heat derived from radiant energy stored in the upper layers of the fuel bed, and the gaseous hydrocarbons produced will be immediately picked up by the streamof water gas produced in the lower portion of the fuel bed and carried into carburetor and super-' heater elements. By this arrangement the ash and carbon residues of the oil gasification are deposited in the fuel bed rather than in the brick Work linings of the carburetor, and the linings of the carburetor and superheater are therefore kept clean and in the best condition for regenerating sensible heat of the enriched make gases.

The term preheaters as used in the lclaims is intended as a generic term to cover any of the modern types of recuperators, regenerators or similar heat exchanging apparatus such as may be suitably utilized for carburetti'ng, heat regenerating and gas preheating purposes.

The invention having been thus described1 what is claimed as new is:

1. The method of making water gas, which comprises intermittently blasting primary air through a bed of ignited fuel in a gas generator to raise its temperature to incandescence, preheating the blast air before intro ducing it into the fuel bed, burning the blow gases thereby formed within the generator, storing heat liberated by combustion of the blow gases in the upper portion of the fuel bed and in preheaters and exhausting relatively cool products of combustion to the atmosphere, generating and superheatin steam by absorption of heat from 'said pre eaters and passing the superheated steam upwardly throuofh the incandescent fuel bed between periods of air blasting and thereby generatpassing the products of secondary combustion through a second preheater to regenerate the heat thereof and exhausting them to the atmosphere, passing steam'inareverse direction through the last-named preheater and thence upwardly through the bed of fuel in the generator and thereby generating water gas, superheating the water gas thus produced by absorption of heat radiated into the upper portion of the generator and fuel bed during the burning of the blow gases, carburettingV the superheated water gas with hydrocarbons,

and passing the enriched gas through the firstnamed preheater to cool the gas and thence into a foul gas main.
